Hans Thomalla (b.1975) and William Lamson (b.1977): The Brightest Form of Absence (2011)
*NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE*

The desert is a place of raw extremes – the brightness of the sun on one hand, and the open silence on the other – but it also represents a place of solitude, untouched nature, and a time that both precedes and follows civilization. In September 2010, two artists of different media – composer Hans Thomalla and video artist William Lamson – recorded sounds and images of the Mojave Desert and Death Valley. The artists collaboratively mine these desert locations sonically and visually to create a modular work based on those recordings: a cycle of “songs” for large instrumental ensemble, and solo voice combined with videos.
